Christians basically believe that God exists beside himself. Huh? Let me explain.

I've spent 3/4th of a century in and around Christian Churches (and other religious groups) and I have studied both beliefs and scriptures. The way I see it, Christianity believes a whole bunch of stuff which can only be understood with other dimensional thinking, where one plus one does not necessarily mean 2.

Let's look at the Christian Scriptures about how everything began: "In the Beginning...." in the Gospel of John. (This is the third creation story in the Bible; the other two are in the first chapters of Genesis.)

In this most Christian Creation, God does not even start things. There was this ???? called "The Word." And the "Word" was with God; which translates to Both Word and God being together or with each other.... OR..... BESIDE EACH OTHER... (because nothing else was created at that time.)

Then, it says (this is the clincher) that "The Word" was actually God. So get out your logical brain and you can easily see that these two original beings, Word and God, which were beside each other, but the Word is now God; and that God was there beside himself. You understand? TWO GODS???? (You know, the first God in Genesis was "Elohim," which is always plural. This fits.). Please see the spiritual math here: One (Word) Plus One (God) equals One (God).

Now, everybody who adheres to any of the Christianity resulting from the Council of Nicea is supposed to believe that Jesus was both man and God. (There are some Christian sects which have never accepted the Nicean Council, and some modern ones which object to parts of it, but most Christians today believe that Jesus was at least partly God.

Wrap your head around this Christian belief, please. Jesus was a man, a begotten child grown into a kind of traveling Guru, who is believed by his devotees (Christians worldwide) to be both still alive and God. (I'm just pointing out the multi-dimensional beliefs that you actually believe. I'm not arguing with such beliefs; I'm merely pointing out how such beliefs do not fit into a purely physical world belief system.)

Well, then, Jesus died, and everybody who went to the Cross saw it, and scriptures say so, so we believe Jesus actually died. And then days later, he was alive. It was not a fake death; it was resurrection. That's a fundamental Christian Belief. But.... not EVERYBODY saw him, and then he split the scene. Gone. Ascended. Out of sight. And we believe he went to Heaven to be with God, the (his) Father.

Who doesn't believe that? It's hard to call yourself a Christian if you don't believe that. But this brings up another big question: Where did Jesus go? And most Christians believe Jesus went to Heaven (hard to define) where he sometimes sits at the right hand of his Father God.

That's cool; ain't nothing wrong with that, is there? Except of course, Most Christians also believe that Jesus is indeed God in some form or other. (The Son?). Anyway, when Jesus sits at the right hand of God, and Jesus is God, you have God beside himself. (Another One plus One equals One.)

Get over it. We are all supposedly, if we are believers, going to be alive after we die and we will be able to see Jesus sitting beside God, AKA: Himself.

Because: we do not die at death, but are liberated into another world.... a heavenly dimension as Christianity Believes... and LIFE GOES ON. (Christians may argue about what that life is, but they agree it is there if we believe and live reasonably well.)

What's my point? Did you think I was undermining Christianity??? Nope! I have merely shown some Light onto what we all believe, but have been afraid to speak out loud, because the materialists in our culture do indeed think we are crazy for our beliefs.

We obviously believe in other dimensions, and a life after death.
My question is: Why do Christians overwhelmingly believe that humans (who are spiritual beings with non-physical souls), are created entirely at "conception"?

Why wouldn't God send "spirits" of his children into the physical embryos inside pregnant women, and if one happened to have an accident, disease, or (heaven forbid) an abortion, still have the power to send that soul into another womb? Do you believe the God who can sit at his own right hand does not have the power or authority.... and even the habit.... of seeing that all the souls in his other dimensions can and will enter into a womb and merge with an embryo? My God has that power, authority, ...and habit.

I believe in a Life Before Birth. Therefore, abortion is not the most pressing religious/political issue in my life. My much bigger concern is the shortage or lack of nurturing Love in the lives of so many infants, children, and adult people on our planet. Yes, mothers have instincts and will usually use them for the benefit of their children.... if their social groups and governments give them the opportunity. But seriously, this costs money. (Back to the physical world.). Who will pay?

Seriously: Let those who are paying for thousands of poverty-stricken mothers and their kids to have "normal" and healthy lives cast the first votes against Abortion.

Otherwise, you are ultimately destroying your own religion.

And if I were God looking down upon all the abortion hatred, I would be beside myself, too.
